I agree with Joe Rogan, the level of vitriol directed at JBJ is hard to comprehend without a racist element. It's the same reason those people are adamant that Gus won that fight. Can't stand the dominant black champion. That's why I can't wait for the rematch so JJ can crush that clown and end the great white hype.

Very True and acurate.





but has always been the case.... and will always be the case with black fighters....

I kept trying to tell folks offline that they don't want Gus fighting Jones in an immediate rematch because the element of surprise Alex had on him with that reach is gone, give him a fight or two extra in between. Jon was finding him and figuring Gus's range out in those last few rounds. He'd have sub'd Gus in 3 the next time around I believe.

Machida asked for CB

 

[firemanBk]

I think CB will do better than you guys think. He's been improving with every fight the past couple of years and his boxing is coming along nicely.

Machida asked for CB

He was asking for Rockhold afaik so he could get back in title contention. CB doesn't really do anything for him.

this was the first choice to do was the Machida/Rockhold fight but when the shyt talking between rockhold/Bisping picked up steam he sent feelers out to the UFC wanting the CB fight if he didnt get Rockhold

"I wanted the Tyron Woodley fight, Lombard wanted the Woodley fight, Tyron Woodley doesn't want that fight. So back to the drawing board and we'll figure it out. He's adamant. Tyron Woodley is adamant that he will not fight him. I don't know what the story is, there is something crazy going on between these two. I don't know what it is. You know me, you just don't say, 'No, I'm not fighting anybody.' But, Tyron Woodley just stepped up on short notice, fought over in China, so I'll give the kid a break right now."

“It’s almost 100 percent,” Dos Santos said of his injured hand. “I’m not going to say 100 percent because it’s going to be too much, but it’s almost there. I’m feeling OK from the injuries, and actually I’m ready to go. I’m just training hard, and I think I can prepare for a fight already.”


“Right now, it doesn’t really matter to me (who I fight),” Dos Santos said. “I just want to fight. I want to fight before the end of the year because it’s very important. In October, it’s going to be one year that I haven’t had a fight. It’s making me very frustrated, and I’m feeling very nervous about that. That’s what I do. That’s what I love to do, and that’s what I do to live, and I can’t wait to be back.”
